Wilco's second album, released October 1996, met with better reception than
their debut. The self-produced album contains more introspective writing due in
part to many life changes for Jeff Tweedy, including the birth of his first
child. In an attempt to boost sales, Tweedy struck a deal with Reprise to sell
the double LP at a single LP price in exchange for a decrease in royalties. This
idea was ingenious and paid off in spades!

Don't miss out on your chance to get your hands on this high-performance 180g
double vinyl re-issue of Wilco's highly-successful "Being There" which includes
a bonus CD of the entire album.

"...Being There is the group's great leap forward, a masterful, wildly
eclectic collection shot through with ambitions and ideas. Although a few songs
remain rooted in their signature sound, here Jeff Tweedy and band are as
fascinated by their music's possibilities as its origins, and they push the
songs which make up this sprawling two-disc set down consistently surprising
paths and byways." - Jason Ankeny, allmusic.com
